Enter Password
The password window appears when connecting to an OMNI flow computer from
OMNICONNECT or OMNIPANEL. Click the drop-down arrow and select your User ID from the
list of available names. Enter your password and press OK.
The following rules apply to passwords:
•
The default timeout for a user password is 30 minutes, but the Administrator can modify the
timer.
•
If five invalid password attempts are made within a two-minute period, the port will be locked
for one minute.
Lost Password
When a user has lost a password, contact the flow computer administrator to retrieve your
password. If needed, the administrator will change your password and inform you of the new
password.
If the administrator needs further assistance or has lost a password, contact the OMNI Help Desk
at helpdesk@omniflow.com.
